Study Arms (2)

calcium + vitamin D group

EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention for epilepsy patients

Drug: Supplementation with calcium + vitamin D daily.

standard of care group

NO INTERVENTION

Epilepsy patients receive normal follow-up without any intervention.

Interventions

Test bone metabolism indicators at 10-14 weeks of pregnancy and intervene based on vitamin D levels. * For vitamin D levels \> 20 ng/ml: Supplementation with 725 mg of calcium + 500 IU of vitamin D daily. * For 10 ng/ml \< vitamin D levels ≤20 ng/ml: Supplementation with 725 mg of calcium + 900 IU of vitamin D daily. * For vitamin D levels ≤10 ng/ml: Supplementation with 725 mg of calcium + 1300 IU of vitamin D daily.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexfemale(Gender-based eligibility)
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Diagnosis of focal or generalized epilepsy as defined by the International League Against Epilepsy.
  • Women of childbearing age, aged ≥18 years, planning pregnancy or in early pregnancy (≤16 weeks gestation, confirmed by last menstrual period or ultrasound) - single pregnancy.
  • Willing and able to provide written informed consent.

You may not qualify if:

  • Pre-existing conditions affecting bone metabolism: primary hyperparathyroidism, Paget's disease, multiple myeloma, chronic kidney disease (eGFR \<60 mL/min), cirrhosis (Child-Pugh B/C), or untreated hyper/hypothyroidism.
  • History of metabolic complications: hypercalcemia (serum Ca²⁺ \>10.5 mg/dL), nephrolithiasis, or granulomatous diseases.
  • Recent/current use of bone-modifying drugs: bisphosphonates, glucocorticoids (≥5 mg/day prednisone equivalent for \>1 month), or loop diuretics within the past year.
  • Ultrasound shows fetal malformation.
  • Presence of other severe systemic diseases deemed unsuitable for study participation by the investigator.
